Hi, Kevin.

>re: the new 3.0 framework, I've been working with WCF but haven't done much of anything with WPF. I look forward to reading more material on it.

While it is still a work in progress, WPF/e is very promising in the sense of been a real alternative to WinForms, running in-browser with real smooth deployment.

If you didn't, check the demos at:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/asp.net/bb187358.aspx

It is still lacking most standard controls like text/checkboxes and the like (you can of course build them), but this is coming, of course.

The nicer thing for me is the programming model, which is basically WPF on the declarative side and JavaScript (now) and .NET programming (coming) on the imperative side. Also, it integrates pretty well in and out standard HTML pages, so you can mix both models as you need.

Regards,
